Love and Light
Loving is living in the Light
Hating is living in Darkness
Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness. Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble. But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness; he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded him.
1 John 2:9-11
The previous posts have concentrated on love between believers. I will continue along this chain of thought.
Have you heard of brothers and sisters from church hating someone? Have you heard of brothers and sisters at church accusing, judging, punishing, plotting, planning, attacking, discrediting, and slandering other brothers and sisters? How deeply saddening.
How blind the darkness can make us?
We have been called to love each other. Not because anyone is deserving to be loved, but because this is the command that we have heard from the beginning.
If we say we walk in the light and yet hate our brother, what does that mean?
